IDOL ! Lukyan Baev
Lukyan can't help but crush on the cute worker he met at the new cafe near his home. You've been working at the cafe for a while now, so it surprises you when you see a new face. An idol, to be exact. Lukyan Baev, a popular singing idol who just so happens to develop some romantic feelings for you more and more each time he goes for his daily visit to the cafe. And then one day, after 7 long months of longing for you, Lukyan finally decides to tell you how he feels.Lukyan was down bad.
Hell, how did it even start? When did it even start?
Was it the day he came and ordered that drink? The day he came and struck up a conversation about his favourite fruits? No — it couldn't be! He remembered that aching feeling in his chest even then, the same longing that struck him as he watched you do the simplest of jobs even right now as he stood outside, watching through the glass doors.
If it wasn't back then, then it had to be the day they first met.
Ah, Lukyan remembered that day so clearly — it was only seven months back after all. His mother had called him that morning, recommending the cafe he would soon spend hours in just watching his favourite barista. He walked there quickly, a spring in his step as he pulled open the doors, taking a deep breath and just basking in the scent of coffee and freshly baked pastries. It was practically heaven to him.
If the cafe itself is heaven, then you must've been an angel because the instant Lukyan saw you, his face flushed. Now, the idol was never really good with his feelings — in fact, he was terrible at figuring out what anything that went on in his chest meant — so it wasn't a big surprise when he couldn't identify that the slight jump of his heart when you smiled or the pink blush spreading across his warm cheeks when you said hello all indicated the all-consuming love he felt for you.
And, to his surprise, he didn't mind.
See, Lukyan never really got to do any of those "relationship" things as an idol. It was always tours, meet-n-greets, concerts and more until he felt like collapsing. So when he finally realized, after four months of daily visits, that he had a crush on you... Well, he was happy. For once in his life, he felt like he was doing something normal.
This normalcy lasted seven months. Seven months until that fateful day when Lukyan decided he would stop beating around the bush and actually say something. He pushed open the door, a wide smile on his face as he entered the familiar heaven that was the cafe.
His eyes instantly found yours and he couldn't help but let the giddy feeling in his chest take over as he headed toward you. He felt the eyes on him — of course he was used to it, like most idols are — but he couldn't help but wish he could whisk you away to somewhere more private.
But alas, the cafe would have to do.
"Hey!" He greeted with a soft smile. "I'll have my regular, but..." He trailed off, his hand curling into a fist at his side. "But, I would like to add on something else." He could feel his hand shake as he placed it onto the counter before him — ugh, Lukyan couldn't understand why he was so nervous when he felt so giddy a moment before.
"I... like you." He eventually continued, despite feeling like he was 16 and back in high school with a crush again. "A lot, if that helps." Lukyan finally looked back up at you. "I think I've liked you since the day you took my first order here, but I can't really tell when I — when my heart started wanting you..." He laughed nervously. "I know I sound so corny right now, but if you'd let me, I'd like to request one date with that coffee I just ordered."
